A House And One Big Ol' We Can Do This!!!

And maybe one the longest names for a post in all of that land :)

So as I have mentioned Mr. Mac and I live with his parents right now.  How did we get here you might ask...well since it is Saturday morning and I am indulging myself in a KUWTK marathon; I would be more than happy to dish the dish.

Mr. Mac lived in the.cutest.townhouse when we first started dating.  It was perfect!  A two bedroom two and a half bathroom with a loft townhouse.  We lived there for about four months after we got married and decided that it would be a good idea to consider renting out the townhouse.  You see in order for us to live the life that we want to...we need to have a bigger down payment on a house.  And the only way for us to save that amount of money would be to move back in with Mr. Mac's parents...rent out the townhouse...and save almost both of our incomes for a year.

So we have been living here for about seven months and saving some big dolla bills yall!  I don't know what the normal "feelings" are for newly weds about to buy a house and think about starting a family...but for me (depending on the day) it.scares.me.  Since living her we have been keeping our eye on houses in our price range just to see what is out there.  Long story short there is a house that is absolutely ideal for us and it is in our price range, it is in the perfect school district, yada yada yada.
We contacted our realtor to have her set up a showing and find out all the goods on the house.  Honestly we have never been this interested in a house.  Me being the awesome worry wort that I am, my brain just starts going a billion miles a minute!  I have this "perfect" picture in my head of how the rest of our lives are going to be.  It goes a little something like this...

• Buy a house
• Get settled and do any fixing up that may be needed
• Get preggers 
• Have a baby
• And stay home with that baby
• Perfect my housewife/mommyness
• Have another baby
• LIFE HAPPILY EVER AFTER

:!!NEWSFLASH!!: Not everything is perfect in life.  And thanks to my bestest friend in whole wide world (who I will absolutely do a post on her) I came to the realization that although my "perfect" way of life may not happen...WE.CAN.STILL.SO.THIS!!!  So ya I may have to work part time for a while when we have kids or find out how to work from home or who knows, but the most important thing is that me and Mr. Mac are doing it together.

We are supposed to go look at this house tomorrow and who knows if this is the house or not...but I know with 100% certainty that we can do this!!  And until then we will be living here, saving, growing, learning, and loving.

Ciao!!

I'm Back!!!

Timing = not.my.thing.somthimes (a.k.a. sorry for the delay in posting)

Seriously I went on "vacation" and came back feeling like needed a REAL vacation.  Why??? Well because me and hubs packed up with the whole fam dam (all NINE of us) and went to Walt Disney World!!!!

        

(Love the things I can do with my iPhone and pictures!)

 We were there for six days and it was a packed vacation.  We were at the parks by 9:00a.m. every day and would get back to the hotel around 11:00p.m..  See why I still need a vacation? 

I took 782162699634 pictures but have not put them on my comuter yet but I will tell yall one thing, and that is...DISNEY.WORLD.ROCKS!!  Seriously!! I have been to Disneyland a few times but this was mt first trip to the world and I was blown away from the second I got there to the second we left.  I will post more of my pics when they are on my comp.

But until then....this is what we have been up to lately

Mr. Mac and I had a date weekend, and it was sooo much fun!!!  Friday night we went and saw the last Harry Potter movie.  Which I really enjoyed, considering I have only seen the very first movie out of all them.  Now I want to get all those movies...they are pretty good...and they are some of his favs.

Saturday I layed at the pool for seriously 4 hours and got my tan on.  Then we went to this awesome place where you can do minature golf, bumper cars, and go-carts!  Clearly based on the above picture I am not very good at self-portates :)  Anywho we had a blast and I felt like we were dating again.  I think that is such an important part of making our marriage work.  I didn't realize that we had gotten in a routine and were just going through the motions of being married and our duties.  We got back to basics and it felt good.  We have so much fun together...we laugh...we make fun of each other...I beat him in mini golf...he is way better at driving go-carts than I am.  And I hope we never lose that :)

Clearly these two did not share that bond with each other....

                                     

 Neither did they

Have a hap hap happy day yall!! Ciao!!!!

A Birthday Party

First off...HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Seriously my favorite day of the week by.far.  And man oh man I have the busiest month or so coming my way.  We leave next Wednesday for a family vacation and then we have a wedding to go to a month later in another state.  But before all of that it is my nephews 8th birthday on Saturday!! 

G had his friend birthday party last night....oh.my.lanta!!!  My SIL (sister-in-law) had/has her hands full.  The original plan was to have a pool party with 16 that's right 16 darling little boys splashing around.  That was until this...

So we (and by we I am talking myself and the SIL) improvised, while trying to not completely rain no pun intended on G's birthday hopes of having a pool party. 

Instead of having these cute water sprayer thingies sitting in a cute bucket poolside we placed them here (with S sitting so cutely next to them) "Here let me sit by them Aunt Bri and you take my picture ok?" "Yes S...whatever you say :)"

E and their puppy Pearl sat a waited for the torrential downpour to come...seriously how cute is this picture?!?

As expected the rain came, but that did not stop these kiddos from having a ball. G had a great birthday party with all of his, and thankfully the rain stopped and they took those water sprayer thingies out side and had THE BEST water fight!!!  One of the best things about kid's birthday parties is watching them all play together and simply enjoy the moment...soo much fun!  Not to mention the awesome toys they have these days.

This post is to you G my FAVORITE nephew who has the sweetest heart possible.  Uncle and I love you so much and we are so proud of the handsome, caring, Jesus loving young man you are becoming!!!
